Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On March 18, 2025, Aterian, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for year-ended December 31, 2024. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this Item 2.02, including the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, is intended to be furnished under Item 2.02 and Item 9.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On March 14, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to acquire up to $3.0 million of the Company’s common stock effective March 18, 2025. The Company may purchase common stock on the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or by other means including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The timing and total amount of stock repurchases will depend upon business, economic and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations. The share repurchase program will have a term of 24 months and may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate the Company to acquire any amount of common stock. The objective of this program is to repurchase shares of common stock opportunistically when management believes that the Company’s stock is trading below the Company’s determination of long-term fair value. The shares of common stock when repurchased by the Company will be retired.
A copy of the press release announcing such changes is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
